Human Nature and Hierarchy: Embrace the Inequality
Human nature remains largely unchanged over time, presenting persistent challenges and reactions that mirror today’s issues. A critical perspective emphasizes the inherent inequality among individuals, asserting that not all people possess equal abilities or contributions to society. The argument posits that insisting on equality among men is counterproductive to progress, as it undermines the roles of those with greater talents and capabilities. While advocating for equality of opportunity, it challenges the notion of equality of outcome, suggesting that expecting uniform results is unrealistic. Historical changes in work structure and compensation illustrate that even with incentives, many individuals are reluctant to assume greater responsibilities, affirming the presence of intrinsic disparities in motivation and capability among the population.
